best plants for endlers and shrimp
Just got my new 5-gallon tank for Christmas and I'm stoked. I'm thinking of adding live plants and driftwood to it. Currently, I have 2 Endlers, 1 Oto, and 2 shrimp. What plants would you guys recommend for a setup like this? Also, I'm a bit concerned about cleaning the gravel with live plants. Do I ...

In my experience, they're a bit underwhelming in terms of personality - they do have a cute habit of following ...

Adding algae-infested plants to a new tank: a good idea?
I've been dealing with hair algae issues in my main tank, mainly on the brazilkento4 pennywort - it's like a magnet for the stuff. I did a big plant cull, getting rid of the ones that were beyond saving.
